LsL "CV Special" Specs

• Bodies made from the lightest Alder we can find.
• Carl Verheyen-designed, LsL hand-wound pickups that are based on his '61.
• Slightly hotter bridge pickup.
• Dark rosewood 9.5" radius fingerboard with LsL's "Lowered Apex" fingerboard edges. The "Lowered Apex" creates a rounded transition from the neck to the fingerboard that begins behind the fingerboard and creates a soft, worn-in feel that melts in your hand.
• Hand-shaped neck that is based on Carl's '61 which has a medium "C" shape that is about .88" thick at the 3rd fret.
• Hand-cut bone nut.
• Lower torque Bournes pots for fast, easy controls.
• Gotoh, vintage style, bridge with steel block and 2-3/13" string spacing.
• 60's style string tree.
• LsL's thin, NC, checked lacquer finish with very light aging.
• Available in CV Blue (metallic), Vintage White and 3-Tone Sunburst.
• LsL, aged 3-ply pickguard with aged knobs and pickup covers.
• Medium high, 6105 nickel-silver frets.
• Tone circuit using oil-filled capacitor.
• Like our LsL Saticoy’s, the middle tone knob controls tone on the neck and middle pickups while the lower tone controls the bridge pickup alone.
• The “CV Special” will be strung with Dean Markley's Carl Verheyen “Balanced Bridge” Helix™ string set: .009, .012, .016, .026, .037, .046.
• The “CV Special” will be set up and shipped with the Carl Verheyen “floating bridge” setup. This is Carl's iconic setup that allows you to use the trem bar to not only lower the pitch of the strings but raise them too. This setup allows the pitch of the high E string to be raised a half step. The B string will raise in pitch by a whole step and the G string will raise a minor 3rd.
• Backplates will feature Carl's engraved signature.
• Like all LsL's, each guitar will be named with a unique female name.
• Each finished “CV Special” will weigh in at less than 7.5 lbs.
• A G&G hard-shell case will be included.
• Made in USA.
